Built by Jacques Gabriel and his associate Jean Aubert, in 1728-1731. Since 1919 it has housed the Musée Auguste Rodin. The house is still surrounded by three hectares (7.3 acres) of grounds. The house had boiseries carved in the full-blown rococo manner and has two elliptical salons that form attached pavilions at the corners of the garden front.
